Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague from Victoria for the great question.
I will be brief, the answer to her question is yes. Yes, we must protect ourselves from that.
The good news with respect to the U.K. agreement is that the dispute resolution process, which could give rise to such claims, will not come into effect for three years. We have the opportunity to negotiate. I have a message for the Liberal government: Negotiations must not be undertaken at the last minute.
The government introduced the bill two days before the end of the session, or just before the holidays. That is a joke. It must give us time.
I agree with the member for Victoria. We need to curb this tendency and protect state sovereignty, because we also need to protect people's sovereignty.
